Our specialty, “in-company” or “on-site” training, which always takes place in a live, face-to-face context, allows our customers to determine the days and hours most convenient for them to receive qualified, native-level English-speaking trainers in the comfort of their own homes or offices.

Our teaching methodology is always 100% personalized to meet the needs and goals of our customers and includes the most innovative and effective teacher feedback system, allowing our students to know exactly where they are in terms of current level, most frequent mistakes and areas that need most improvement.

Like all of our soft-skills training, our Business English offering optionally includes our patent-pending evaluation platform called Stratety™. This platform allows us to keep a 100% individualized track of progress, a unique offer on the market that allows for a rigorous and completely objective measure of progress.

ACTIVE FEEDBACK

Stratety™ employs a feedback and evaluation system that is based on the world’s most popular evaluations frameworks (TOEFL, IELTS, CEFRL). Each tier of our program includes a description of the skills necessary for students to reach a particular level, such as fluency, listening and complexity of speech. Our selection of educational materials, customized curriculum, and teacher feedback, in combination with monthly, quarterly or annual evaluations allow our customers to track individual participation, performance and progress with exact precision.

Within each level, our program provides content and materials specifically designed to enable student to achieve their objectives. The contents are prepared to address the main language areas – always emphasizing the ability to speak the target language.

BLENDED PROGRAMS:

Experts agree that the most effective language learning programs provide for frequent and regular contact – active contact – with the target language. Our language learning program is designed to promote active and participatory learning for each student, and our offering is flexible enough to include anywhere from 90 minutes of class per week, up to 40 hours of immersive language development per week.

For maximum effectiveness, each training program is optionally combined with other types of training, such as online training, telephone training or videoconference training. In all cases, the curriculum and instructional materials are selected to facilitate the achievement of student and company goals in the shortest amount of time.

Trainers:

All of our trainers are highly-qualified, native-level speakers who are carefully assigned according to our students’ background and specific needs. Before the training begins, all of our teachers have access to a complete student profile that includes original evaluation, study objectives and learning requirements. Our teachers work closely with our language quality department to develop and deliver a fully customized study plan.

If for any reason one of our trainers does not fit the desired profile, the service is not invoiced and we replace the trainer at no additional cost. Thus, you can be confident that your training will be an enjoyable and effective learning experience.

Our Guarantees:

Active Learning: Training focused on speaking the target language. This approach to speaking a language is the quickest and most effective way to guarantee success. Our language learning programs, in combination with the Stratety™platform, guarantee that our students learn by speaking the language they need.

Private classes or small groups: The individualized attention we provide helps our clients reach their goals more quickly and more effectively through highly personalized feedback.

We Guarantee Results: our language learning program is designed to deliver results, or you don’t pay. It’s as simple as that. Our trainers teach words, phrases and structures that can be applied to real situations. If they are not applied and we cannot demonstrate that, in fact, our students have progressed, using our patent-pending Stratety™ platform, we will not invoice you for the service.

Testing and Measuring Progress

We evaluate the quality of training and the effectiveness of our trainers regularly through online surveys and student questionnaires. We also verify student satisfaction and the achievement of student and company goals through our proprietary Stratety™ platform, a complete human resource solution that includes complete pre and post-training reports.

To measure a trainee’s initial language skill level, we offer:

Stratety™: Educapro’s award-winning training evaluation solution through which our students’ starting level is objectively measured. Students return to the platform as frequently as they wish to ensure that measurable progress is being made.

Objectives and Content Programming

Educapro language training is available in six 6 different levels. These six levels correspond to the six levels of the Common European Framework for Language Learning.

Each level is designed to be compatible with the criteria and measurement systems of the European Framework of Reference for Languages.

Each training plan is developed with special regard for the initial language level, the objectives and any time constraints that may exist.
